Stoneware Crucible Base/Body Sherd

One ceramic base and body sherd from a stoneware crucible. The stoneware is very crude, gray-colored and coarse-pasted. The crucible has a flat, rounded base. The interior is heavily burned from use and has some encrusted debris. The exterior appears to have a thin, glaze-like substance coating portions of it but most likely this is the result of damage from manufacturing and use.
